F-15 Strike Eagle II, released by MicroProse in 1989. Multiple theatres of war, radar, missiles and dogfights, all on a humble DOS PC. Not quite a flight simulator, not quite an arcade game. Just the perfect balance of both.

Look at this young star cluster captured by Webb Space Telescope! 🌟 At its center sits a bright yellow star boasting the largest eight-pronged diffraction pattern. To its left, a massive yellow region of dust and gas stretches across two-thirds of the view, embedding blue stars of all sizes.

$A young star cluster filled with many stars that display Webb’s unique eight-pronged diffraction pattern. At its center is a yellow star which sports the largest diffraction pattern. To the left of the star, there is a region filled with yellow dust and gas. This yellow region extends from the bottom, covering about two-thirds of the image. The yellow region has several blue stars of different sizes embedded within. The top third, which lies outside of the yellow region, holds a few bright protostars, within dense gray gas. Those stars illuminate the gas, making it appear blue. A few red outflows from other protostars are visible above this grayish-blue region. To the right of the central star, there is a clumpy, flame-like plume of red dust and gas with protostars that emit a soft white light within. The plume is surrounded by more dense gray gas and dust.$

The first complete, low-priced, fully assembled microcomputer!

A catalog advertises the "Radio Shack TRS-80 Computer System," showing a system with the main processor (with integral keyboard), CRT monitor, cassette, and power suply, for only $599.95 ("save $49.90!")

Captain Blood was dubbed "the most beautiful game in the world" when it was released in 1988. Not only the 16 but also the 8-bit versions were awesome, including the C64 one shown here. A game that many played but few understood. Photo shot in my studio.

Evil Dead II (1987) 🎬 Campbell turns the ham up to eleven, and his physical comedy is incredible. You can feel Raimi’s glee in torturing him with every single spray of blood. The practical effects are fantastic, and my cheeks ached from laughing so much. Absolute perfection. #100DaysOfHorror 74/100

Evil Dead II (Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) 1987 movie poster and collage.
Directed by Sam Raimi, who co-wrote it with Scott Spiegel.

XTree versus Norton Commander: two great answers to DOS file-management. Difficult to chose between them... XTree was probably the more sophisticated file-management tool. Norton Commander was probably the more elegant interactive file-navigation tool.

Budokan: The Martial Spirit on the Amstrad PC 1640, in glorious 16-color EGA. Far from a simple action game, Budokan had a real simulation side: training, timing and discipline mattered. Button-mashing alone wouldn't make it.

Bubble Bobble, Amiga 500 with 1084S display. A great game to play with your pal after school! 100 increasingly devious levels, easy to learn, surprisingly hard to master and that incredible theme tune still refuses to leave your head. Photo shot in my studio.

You want your Amstrad to speak, this might work for you. Speaking computer always remind me of HAL from 2001. #retrocomputing #amstrad #retrogames
